Loving Laundry?

Two years ago, I CHOSE to have an ugly laundry room. Now I’m not sure that was the best choice, ‘cuz I don’t like ugly stuff.

We had a laundry “room” that was actually the pass through from the garage to our house. I think that these are pretty popular with builders, at least in central Ohio.

I decided that we needed a mud room more than a first floor laundry, so we moved the washer and dryer to the basement, and converted the laundry “hall” to a mud room. I’m REALLY glad to have a mud room, but I want a cute laundry room too.

This weekend, I saw THIS, when perusing a Better Homes and Gardens mag.Hmmmm…a cute basement laundry room. Could those be DROP CLOTH WALLS? Be. still. my. heart.This might be my next project. Sorry, honey, but I’ll need a new dryer.

Meet me back here tomorrow with your Trash to Treasure projects!! I’m so excited to share mine, the perfect example that PATIENCE is truly a virtue!

I love laundry rooms… of course I don’t have one!! My laundry is in the garage..hummm this photo could also translate to the garage?!? I’m just sitting here imagining each time I drive into my garage and SMILING at my laundry room –

What I’d give for a basement to put my laundry room in….we have the same pass thru from garage to house, laundry room, and it’s the dogs’ room, too. It’s not pretty at all……would love a pretty laundry room, too.

I LOVE beautiful laundry rooms almost more than any other space. Funny that I should pick something so utilitarian to want to make a fuss over. I stayed at a friend’s house for a few weeks and one morning when she went grocery shopping I cleaned her laundry room for her – like dusting and mopping and organizing kind of cleaning. It’s a sickness. ;)

Thanks for sharing! That is EXACTLY what I should do with my basement laundry room. I’ve been struggling for three years to figure out how to handle having the W/D in the middle of the large unfinished basement. This is perfect. :)

I do have a tiny laundry room, but I’d trade it in a heartbeat for a basement. ;) LOVE that BH&G shot. It seems like everyone but me has front loaders. Wish I’d thought of that to make some counter space. :)

I have a real laundry room. It’s a pass though room to our utility room but it has real doors, so I’m counting it as a room. I distressed the walls with a palm sander to give it an old timey look, not because I ran out of salvaged paint and needed a third coat. *wink*
